David's Daily Devotion for July 3

July 3, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, July 3.

Israel Beilin was born in 1888 in Siberia, Russia. His father made his living as a cantor, a singer in the Jewish synagogue. When Israel was five-years-old, an angry, racist mob burned his village to the ground. His family lost their home, but found a new one in the New World, settling in the very poorest part of New York City. They were joined by hundreds of thousands of Jewish immigrants who came to America in the years right before and right after the turn of the century, escaping persecution.

Baseball is “America’s Game”. Well, technically, football makes lots more money - more than twice as much. But there’s just something about baseball. Something about joining your fellow Americans at the ballpark. Something about rising to your feet at the beginning of a game and singing the National Anthem. For most people it’s the only time they sing in a group, with the possible exception of a Sunday morning worship service.

We continue this morning with Patriotic Song Week here at the Daily Devotion, on the way to Independence Day and America’s 250th birthday. Most of this week’s songs are very old, over a century old. One, our National Anthem, has had over 200 birthdays. But today’s song is relatively new. Let’s take a look at “God Bless the U.S.A.”.

David's Daily Devotion for June 26

Are you excited about the Semiquincentennial? That’s a mouthful! I’m talking, of course, about our nation’s 250th anniversary - just a week away. Maybe you’re old enough to remember where you were when America celebrated her 200th birthday, the Bicentennial. I was 19, with a year of college under my belt, and no clue whatsoever about what I wanted to be when I grew up.

Here’s some old sayings. You’ve probably heard all, or at least most of them.

Haste makes waste
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink
Don’t put the cart before the horse. (Why are so many of these about horses?!)
All that glitters is not gold
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
A stitch in time saves nine
